When i was traveling in Cyprus, i also visited Kyrenia ship museum in the Kyrenia castle. This is the ship that is the oldest in the world ever brought out of the sea and put out for the people to see. This ship was first launced in 389 BC (+-44) and supposedly sunk 288 BC (+-62). Ship sailed on Mediterranean sea in a lifetime of Alexander the Great and was used to transport cargo and for fishing as well because fishing equipment was found with this wreck. It is preserved so well because it had something to do with the place it was sunken in, conditions were perfect for wood not to decompose. Photo is not the best quality because it was made with GOPRO, it was actually not allowed to take pictures there >D 
Ship was discovered by Greek-Cypriot diving instructor Andreas Cariolou in November 1965 and brought to the surface in 1970. It was really awesome to see history like this!
If you would like know more information about this ship then you can read Wikipedia page of this.
You can read my recent post of Estonia's 100-th indpendence day here.
Wow! Amazing.
yess!!!
Great discovery. But how are they sure it is the oldest ship in the world. Things are yet to be discovered.
This is surely not the oldest in the world, many still lies underwater, but this is the oldest ever brought to surface.

There's something about the ancient artifacts that fascinates me. This is no exception. That's pretty awesome!
I know right, i love to see these old relics as well, puts me think what these things have seen when they were used once, if this makes any sense :D
It makes perfect sense. There's this sense of wonder when you look at ancient civilizations. You wonder how they pulled off what they did, especially with the glut of stupid people in our times.
Yes true !
